- a voltage value developed at alternating current power supply 71 is set to a value equal to or lower than a voltage below which no discharge between optical disc substrates 1 and 2 occurs.
- FIG. 6 shows a graph for explaining the operation of a modification of the above-described embodiment, viz., representing a variation pattern of the distance between optical disc substrates 1 and 2 together with the elapse of time.
- FIG. 7 shows a graph representing the variation pattern of the rising velocity of absorbing-and-holding means 20 along with an elapsed time in the modification of the above-described embodiment.
- the rising velocity of absorbing-and-holding means 20 is quickened after time point of t3 in the above-described embodiment and the distance between optical disc substrates 1 and 2 is shortest at time point t4a.
- elapsed time detecting means may be installed for detecting the elapsed time from a predetermined timing in place of distance detecting means 50 .
- the elapsed time detecting means estimates that it is a time point (time point t2) immediately before adhesive 30 applied on optical disc substrate 2 is brought in contact with optical disc substrate 1 .
- the relative velocity at a time point (time point t2) immediately before adhesive 30 applied onto optical disc substrate 2 is brought in contact with optical disc substrate 1 is equal to or higher than 25 millimeters/second and, preferably, equal to or higher than 50 millimeters/second.
- the relative velocity at a time point (time point t2) immediately after adhesive 30 applied onto optical disc substrate 2 is brought in contact with optical disc substrate 1 is equal to or lower than 10 millimeters/second and, preferably, equal to or lower than 5 millimeter/second.
- adhesive 30 is applied only onto optical disc substrate 2 and optical disc substrates 1 and 2 are mutually approached to each other.
- optical disc substrates 1 and 2 may be approached to each other with adhesive 30 applied onto both of optical disc substrate 1 and optical disc substrate 2 .
- an adhering apparatus for optical disc substrates which adheres first optical disc substrate 1 and second optical disc substrate 2 together via adhesive 30 and cures adhesive 30 includes: optical disc substrate moving means 40 for moving first optical disc substrate 1 and second optical disc substrate plate 2 to approach to each other with the adhesive applied onto the first optical disc substrate and onto the second optical disc substrate while first optical disc substrate 1 is faced against second optical disc substrate 2 ; velocity controlling means 60 for controlling a relative velocity of second optical disc substrate 2 to first optical disc substrate 1 and controlling the optical disc substrate moving means in such a manner that the relative velocity immediately after and at a time point at which adhesive 30 applied onto the first optical disc substrate 1 is brought in contact with adhesive 30 applied onto second optical disc substrate 2 is slower than that immediately before adhesive 30 applied onto first optical disc substrate 1 is brought in contact with adhesive 30 applied onto second optical disc substrate 2 ; and alternating current voltage applying means 70 for applying an alternating current voltage between first optical disc substrate 1 and second optical disc substrate 2 immediately before adhesive 30 applied onto the first optical disc substrate 1 is brought in contact with adhesive 30 applied onto the
- the adhering apparatus according to the present invention is applied to the optical disc substrates.
- the present invention is applicable to the plate shaped matter other than the optical disc substrates such as glass plate or lens or applicable to the manufacture of an optical disc in which the plate like matter such as a thin transparent film is used as a light transmission layer.
- the whole time duration to adhere two sheets of optical disc substrates can be shortened.
- no discharge can occur between the two sheets of optical disc substrates and no deterioration in the adhesive can occur.
- the alternating current voltage is applied between optical disc substrates 1 and 2 , the same advantage may be obtained when a direct current voltage may be applied therebetween.
